"Ludwig Neumayer laver vin fra kalksten. Langs Donau handler det normalt ikke om kalk, men langs bifloden Traisen rejser kalkstensskrænter sig på begge sider. Komplet druetro næse af limeskal, hvid nektarin og chablis-bærme. Kalkstenen breder smagen ud, her er det grüner med creme og salt tannin… hvis det findes? Fornem statelig grüner, som hverken har hvid peber eller granitstenethed. Der er salt på glaskanten, magarita style og lækker fenolisk tryk bagerst på tungen."
“Ludwig Neumayer is one of my favorite Austrian white wine producers.” Robert Parkers WA - Stephan Reinhardt).
“Ludwig Neumayer is the man who put the Traisental on the map. A dignified winemaker, he gives the impression of having thought long and hard before making each wine. Everything seems to turn to gold in his hands.” Wines of the World
Philosophy
My wines stand for clarity, strength, and longevity. They should bring you joy. My craft is playing with nature. Nature provides the framework. I add my personal handwriting. Great white wines are characterized by the finest elegance, yet vibrant with strength and intensity. This balance is my benchmark as a winemaker. Limestone soil typically produces very light and crystal-clear wines with a lively acidity. Their fine balance makes them memorable. Due to the harsh conditions on meager stone soils, my wines are very late developing. They often only find their first equilibrium in late spring. As a result, however, they develop the highest longevity, which is rarely found in white wines.
